The latest in Canongate's highly collectible and highly praised series, with an introduction by Jake Tapper.
In the 22nd volume of The Complete Peanuts, you'll see the whole gang waiting . . . and waiting . . . and waiting for a bus that never comes. Charlie Brown finally hits a game-winning home run - off Roy Hobbs's great-granddaughter? Linus lobbies the White House to nominate Snoopy for a Supreme Court seat (alas, it goes to Ruth Bader Ginsburg instead), Woodstock discovers his long-lost grandfather's diary, detailing a hard life in captivity (i.e., a birdcage).
Industry Reviews
* It's impossible to think of another popular art form that reaches across generations the way the daily comic strip does... at the pinnacle of that long tradition, there was Charles Schulz Seattle Times * Charles Schulz was an American treasure - an artist, philosopher, and keen observer of human life -- Bill Clinton * The world of Peanuts is a microcosm, a little human comedy for the innocent reader and for the sophisticated -- Umberto Eco * Republishing Peanuts in one gorgeous volume after another is really the first time we can truly take a step back, appreciate Schulz's work as a whole and ultimately wrap our arms around the accomplishment of Charles Schulz. Sometimes, happiness is a warm book Huffington Post * These timely re-issues illustrate not only the skill and subtle brilliance of his work but also the origins of the form beyond simple merriment Sunday Times * All sorts of important writers have marvelled at the glorious simplicity of [Schulz's] draftsmanship and his unerring jokecraft, all underpinned by a quiet melancholy and stoicism ... by some miracle, the entire Peanuts oeuvre is gradually being republished in this country, by Canongate ... in lavishly appointed hardback ... Unlike almost everything you read as a child, they are actually better than you remember them Spectator * As essential as pop texts get The Onion * Charles Schulz was, plain and simple, a great artist and philosopher... But most importantly, he teaches all ages that if you can learn to laugh at the things that cause you the most pain you will be the strongest of all. Peanuts: a real way of life -- John Waters * Peanuts was, is, and will continue to be the finest comic in the world. Bravo -- Ray Bradbury
